supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back to the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're getting this relationship with labor labor scenes is relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be so enthusiastic but the labor movement has been kicked around now for quite a while and they have to fight and they see people fighting and they see their fighting the same enemy and they see the reaching out this movement has shown such an eagerness to reach out to the mainstream of the american public and the unions represent the organized part of that the focus on the one percent and the first time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party did this in their mass work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of

congress distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute. to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens bought. and several thousand gave their lives we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thank you thank you thank you thank. you to want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just the wide view the bottom line of the military industrial complex. which just so happens to have
12:34 pm
invented itself in every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed greatest player of violence in the world actually makes us safer and more respected i mean come on that kind of attitude is not going to earn anyone any nobel peace prizes or anything to distinguish members of the norwegian nobel committee. citizens of america. and citizens of the world. i receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell would have had a hard time coming up with this are we really this delusional you see the more honest we are with ourselves about exactly what our foreign policy is the better chance we have to stop some of the truly horrific conditions it visits upon many of the people of the world so say it with me the us foreign policy is a blowback inducing homicidal bull in a cultural religious and geo political china shop didn't change. there was handed.
12:35 pm
down for far. too many families. sitting. around. the world. it was not right. the answer to the truth i served in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. allusion nov two thousand and four as a human being and as a person who has a heart i can't lie to myself anybody else and say that we had a reason to be there that there's a reason for the million iraqis that died in the five thousand troops said that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go into you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money. in the
12:36 pm
united states had need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the end you will energy costs more to every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. times over or it could convert every home in america through one hundred percent wind energy nothing times over for groceries for everyone in the country free for two years or to provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the war turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them
12:37 pm
a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion dollars pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin ladin oh we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans are going to stay with clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up willing to fly a plane into the building and how many trillions are we prepared to spend on avenging that man. can do every. go to school and not just go to school but excel in school worked really really hard and i graduated and really had the feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i
12:38 pm
mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs on the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuition as though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt is now. one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out i have to. thank. god i.
12:39 pm
was. that your goal anybody would have predicted that. you would have. people out of the streets in new york city. because something is real journalist here. who has so many. young people. on
12:40 pm
a global stage with affordable education. it is a challenging justice that there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt that when congress raises the loan limits schools respond to those increased long limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to expect to get to to come. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we are for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that why i'm here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans business the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this invade privacy the idea of do you debtors
12:41 pm
union is based on a labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor they negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way you do you debtors union you could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans it's employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better. how do. you. break code you know it's really about who you believe and the truth and the sooner
12:42 pm
we come to know the we'll just all these effects are somehow also whether it's b.p.a. you know. the tar sands i think that the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing fred. massive starve your derriere is tar sands oil is not out of the cult in order to get tarzan sought out you ask to destroy the art and so i think that you know finds out the pipeline but what happens after that you know another standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment going to magically go itself because we stop the high price and then the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james harrison the brokaw warrior at story a few decades back or whatever says the pipeline is it will be
12:43 pm
a game or a game over again starting to come up on inhabitable earth. culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money maintaining ization is in a lot of people i hear you saying the his coming on but in the storm's way cool the conversations around the climate change return to american political discourse and debate politics. what will change when america picks its president amid muslim rage walking the iran tightrope pushing china and russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate. the selection of close guy every monday to november fifth on our team. he used to be it's. the.

12:47 pm
a serious addiction to corporate money ok thank god now when cheney sent them to get off an on their own even on that in the smoking a crack rock group i might have. i am only trying to be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this not to occupy movement has become a conduit. venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend that are really in my mind i. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech and constitutional rights are for people over eight hundred fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirm slavery in two thousand and ten the supreme court said property is people ok those decisions i mean see
12:48 pm
was was was was funny person from god told me i'm telling. you was to god and i was in the was a she was. at the culmination of individual bargaining the issues coming together with the secular part that turned on them to come to shul and then not tell a clear. cut that they didn't know how can a parent emailing them about how that money feel not political speech. was clear to them today and how he's coming to top post doctrines must be abolished he cannot overturn corporate functionality and still
12:49 pm
allow wealthy individuals to spend a hundred enough the money how can. you. have . had how. how. how. how how have you all. these in a humid hot sun if i thought that ha is what we're all by it is democracy the month club city look around at the power monopolies have you noticed people are like this double our society safe we get freedoms like let's use we can excuse it someone's got to lose with some point for race you know where as if it's not going to go if we all believe you don't build on the backs of baltimore it's by those words all forgotten the phrase we're all caught by our mother's can of the people out there
12:50 pm
today still at the pale coolest playing ball the here we have the most usually all adults club to the small degree parikh it rocks like that if the film looks better if we just the members of the corporations alice create it is. people who somebody just quote a really good cause create it is at least the people who got the roger cut copy. live for. you would think. that. people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not that official to the vast majority of people and till we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their
12:51 pm
communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham in the you look at the military budget you know some of the new troops but you get used to spend as much as the whole world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade for the american society of civil engineers we get a deed in there this is written as a future work on a very infrastructure is going to work and so if you face of those two issues which are you know just going on here in the one percent in the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues i mean there's money to exist in the new resisting the economy you know certainly there's money to reform and whom we see energy as you can turn roads into solar power and that's where possible we think that's why we have our money back on the right it was frightening.
12:52 pm
it was writing the piece and it was this mother target like the rest. of your. street where we were right. here. you. know. thank you they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as russian quality at this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it comes to wealth period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to the polls they are super rich as
12:53 pm
a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to you criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that most so many issues are connected into war activists who are through healthcare reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will banks the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity you see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is directly contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be euthanized for the greater good and the birth of
12:54 pm
a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the good in foreign occupation. it was a martin luther king day and two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines. and all the sudden we felt. well some of us knew better than you can there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver open change we can believe in so how will the occupy movement that has wisely staying away from promoting political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for
12:55 pm
a movement that is determinately to. this mad influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the occupy movement but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find mishka will be pushed into a corner this organism is still a baby and the narrative that will be telling in the years to come is yours to
12:56 pm
write what you all turn it in if you talk to refuse to believe just to get the audience you should listen to you get the image can come in come to get here it has to be done you can't just sit in judgment if you just didn't didn't think you did a good. just mileage i just. thankfully the senate better myself so when they say why occupy local your answer is the first time in decades people were really discussing does the world have to be displaced and how can we bring a better. life in this historical lesson the kids who like the freedom they have been coming back and coming back again did that. make it seem to raise that for a living thing from then on to. the
